Storing memorabilia

I have gotten rather lazy lately when it comes organizing my memorabilia. Rather putting it in the file drawer I was stuffing it into the desk organizer. Bad scrapper! :-( So this past weekend I spent some time organizing my memorabilia. The first thing I had to do was clean out the desktop organizer. In my eagerness to get this task done I forgot to take a 'before' pic. :-( You will have to trust me when I say it was overflowing with stuff! Nonetheless here is the after photo. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!

Once the memorabilia was removed from the desktop organizer I bega﻿n to file the memorabilia in large Ziploc bags.

I originally used the label on the Ziploc to identify its contents. But this time I added a little tab on the right side corner for easy reference. The bags are then organized in chronological order.

I am using this file drawer to organize the memorabilia. The file drawer came with a kit I order from QVC many moons ago.

For easy access I keep the Ziploc bags in one of the drawers. Hopefully this will encourage me to keep organize the memorabilia and not fall back into my old habits. :-( ﻿

I hope you find this information useful. Have a fabulous weekend and Happy St. Patty's Day!
